Lesson for Afigust 8 THE GIVING OF MANNA LESSON TEXT? Exodus 16:1-36. GOLDEN TEXT? Jesus said unto them, "I am the bread of life." PRIMARY TOPIC? God's Gift of Dally Bread. JUNIOR TOPIC? God Sends Food in the Wilderness. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC ? Our Daily Blessings. t YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADCLT TOP IC ? God's Good Gifts. I. Lusting for the Flesh pots of i Egypt (vv. 1-12). 1. Murmuring against Moses and j Aaron (vv. 1-3). As they journeyed from Ellm Into , the great wilderness, tliey became con scious of the scarcity of some of the things they had enjoyed even In j Egyptian slavery. Only a few days j before they were singing God's praises for their wondrous deliverance at the Ked Sea (Ex. 13). Their complaint not only displayed Ingratitude but n deep sealed impiety. It was against (jod that they were murmuring, for He had led theui Into the wilderness. His object in so doing was to teach them to walk by faith. Instead of sight. They went so far as to express the wish that they had died in Egypt with full stomachs rather than to be walking in the wilderness hy faith. 2. God's answer to their murmur lugs (vv. 4-12). (1) He promised to rain bread from heaven (vv. 4, 5). His purpose In this was to teach them that man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word that proceed ed out of the month of the Lord (Deut. 8:8). (2) He promised to give them a vi sion of His glory (vv. 6-10). This served as a warning and en couragement. Moses and Aaron told the children of Israel that the glory of the I.ord should be seen In the morning as a reminder that tlfelr mur muring was against the I.ord and not against themselves. (3) He promised them flesh and bread (vv. 11, 12). "At even ye shall eat flesh and in the morning ye shall be tilled with bread." II. Quails and Manna Given (vv. 13-15). At the appointed time God gave the* Israelites the promised food. He first . allowed them to feel their need to show them that man's highest need Is I not physical food, but tlving faith and fellowship with God. 1. In the evening the quails 'came up (v. 13). Since they desired flesh, He gave them flesh to eat. God frequently caters to the desires of His people, knowing that the best way to teach them is to allow them to be filled with their own folly. 2. In the morning God gave the manna (vv. 14. 15). The Israelites did not knew what it was. They therefore exclaimed, What is It? Moses told them that it was the bread which the Lord had given them to eat. III. The Resppnsibl Titles of the Israelites (vv. 16-31). 1. They must gather a certain rate dally (v. 16). The purpose of this was to test their faith. They must look to Him for their daily bread (Matt. 6:11). 2. Every man must gather for him self (v. 16). This teaches us the Important lesson that every man must appropriate Christ for himself. 8. They must not gather in excess of one day's supply (vv. 18-20). That -which was in excess of a day's "^supply became corrupt. The Christian must use what gifts the Father be stows upon him. Christian grace and Bible truth must not be hoarded up ? they are good only when put to use. 4. The manna must be gathered fresh every morning (v. 21). This was to be done early before the sun was up. So must we seek Christ, who is our manna, every day and the first thing In the day (John 6:57). 5. The manna must be eaten to pre serve life. They were in a wilderness, so could live only by the eating of the food which God gave. It is so with Christ (John 6:5 S). 6. Due consideration should be given to the Sabbath day (vv. 22-31). A double .portion was to be gathered the day before so as to keep Inviolate the Sabbath day. IV. Manna Kept as a Memorial (vv. 82-86). This was to be kept as a reminder God's favor in feeding them in the wilderness, even for supplying them with bread for forty years until they reached the promised land. & To Give AH The love of the base spirit is the desire to taka all it can. The love ?f the nobler spirit Is the desire to five ail it can. Infection of Excellence If one life shines the next life to it most catch the light. It is the infec tion of excellence. Js Best Preparation Doing good in this life is the best preparation for the life to conie. IN MEMORY OF MRS. JULIA ANNE WHITM1RE Daughter? One of 13 children born to Uncle Jackson and Aunt 'Polly Giillespie of East Fork, N. C-,- ? of which number five boys, viz: H. C. Gillespie of Brevard, N. C., Tom Gillespie of Lancaster, Ohio, Joe and Steve and Bascomb of East Fork, N. C., and Lizzie Cooper of Jackson County, N. C., still , live. Aunt Julia Anne was soundly converted to the Christian Religion when only ten years old and joined the Methodist Church to which she plighted her faith and continued a consistent and faittful member till the grim reaper, Death, claimed her. The following "script" in her own handwriting was found among her valuable papers: "I professed re ligion and joined the Methodist Church in my 10th year, at David son's River old Camp Ground ? which has always been a sacred spot in my memory ? and when from Earth I shall rise to soar up to my Home in Heaven, down I will cast my eyes once more, to where 1 was first forgiven." She first married J. A. Phillips, who was slain at Kinston, N. C., dur ing the Civil War; to this union was born a daughter, Tina-, who married H. E. Whitmire, of East Fork, N. C. Aunt Julia Ann then married R. T. Whtmire and for many years re sided in the Upper Little River Val ley. To thi sunion was born three boys: Lon, Whitzel and Joe, and one daughter, Alice. Years ago the family moved to Texas. There her husband died. Through all these years fraught with life and death, Aunt Julia Anne, with the gentleness and love of an angel, served her day and generation, as "a Mother in Israel." She fed the hungry, nursed the sick, scattered sunshine and comfort to those in distress ? as none but a mother filled with love, can do. She lived every day as though it was the last day and she lived the last day as she had lived all oter days. "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." On June 29, 1926, in hre 85th year at her home at Midland, Texas ?"The Greart Lone Star State," having fought a good fight, haying kept the faith, she folded her mantel of livery about her form, bade fare well to friends and time, and passed to her reward in the undiscovered country from whose borne no trav eler ever returns. Her body was consigned to Mother Sarth at Hid land, T/3*as, and her soul committed to God who gave it. May the Blessings of a Heavenly Father comfort the bereaved family. ? T. T.

Musical and effective hog calling is not a lost art among the farm folks of North Caro lina if the performance of the 52 contestants in this feature event at the State Farmers' Convention last week is -a real indication. Great volumes of sound, punctuat ed by appealing lower tones and con vincing facial expression were used by each of the contestants. So re alistic did the callers make their ef forts that the 1,500 observers gath ered in front of Pullen Hall began ' to look around apprehensively fear ing that perhaps a great herd of swine would come rushing over the campus and sweep them from their feet. It was ? impossible for the judges to select the three prize win ners at the first trial held at midday on Wednesday7%uly 28, so a second contest was held for the ten selected in the first occasion. At the second contest, a greater crowd had gathered. The news had gone abroad over Raleigh that there were some real hog callers at the College and the visiting farmers were joined by a great number of town people. The final selection was an nounced at the evening meeting and J. C. Nichols of Durham was award ed first prize of $25 as the champ ion caller of the Convention. Sec ond prize of $15 was won by J. H. Sprinkle of Route 7, Winston-Salem and third prize of $10 was awarded to H. G. Bundy of Elizabeth City. The officers of the convention stated that this contest brought a new note of informality and fun into the convention proceedings and the farmers themselves voted that it must become an annual event. The ladies, not to be neglected in such 'fun, made a request that, next year, prizes be offered for successful chicken callers. The fund of $50 used as prizes for the contest was donated by the American Limerican Company of Knoxville, Tennessee. BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE There is this about fire, when is loose you cannot whistle it back again. Unless it is stayed by enor mous toil of men, or halted by natur al obstacles, or drenched by rain, it will burn until it no longer finds materials for consumption. Look at the ghosts of trees that rise from old scars on our mountains where forest fires have been. Nature will replant, but slowly. Men who were careless with fire put to naught her toil of a century. Be careful with fire and then be more careful than ever.. All this greenery, this coolness, this delight ful beauty, may be blackened and made hideous by a single careless act. The homes and industries of to morrow may never be, if so much as a spark falls in this mid-summer, tinder. Be careful with fire. You cannot whistle it back.
